QINGDAO, China, 28 March 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leader in consumer electronics and home appliances, is advancing energy efficiency innovation across the industry as sustainability becomes an increasingly important part of everyday technology.
Every year, during Earth Hour, millions of households around the world switch off their lights for sixty minutes. Yet, an equally important sustainability story could be unfolding on the screens that remain lit. Home electronics play an increasingly important role in daily life, with improving energy efficiency becoming a key element of innovation.
For Hisense, green technology starts long before a television reaches the living room. In 2025, Hisense Hitachi’s Huangdao factory was recognized by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as the world’s first sustainability beacon in the VRF sector, demonstrating how AI-driven production enables more efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing. Following this success, the Hisense Visual Technology Qingdao factory was also acknowledged by the WEF as a beacon of customer-centricity, becoming the first and only flagship factory in the global television industry.
These recognitions reflect a broader evolution of Hisense’s manufacturing network towards sustainability and operational excellence – a foundation that naturally extends to its 2026 television range. The latest Hisense models feature energy-efficient innovation in both hardware and smart functions. The UR9 series, set for global launch in April, introduces solar-powered remote controls in regions like Europe and Australia, while adaptive light sensor and energy-saving modes adjust brightness and energy consumption to help users manage electricity more efficiently.
Hisense is also expanding its approach to sustainability beyond the products themselves. Their Eco-care packaging uses FSC-certified wood and fibers from responsibly managed forests, reducing environmental impact throughout the production and delivery process in Europe.
Hisense is also advancing product-level environmental assessment, with the C3 laser projector undergoing a life cycle assessment and carbon footprint verification by SGS, enabling transparent evaluation of the environmental impact throughout the product’s life cycle.
Many environmental improvements happen quietly, thanks to technical advancements that enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and extend product lifecycles without changing how people perceive technology. For Hisense, this reflects their vision of “Innovating a Brighter Life,” developing technology that enhances entertainment while consistently reducing its environmental impact.
